History of Operating System (OS)

Probably many of us don’t have idea about what is operating system, history of operating system (OS) and how operating system works. Computer system, mobile device and other electronica devices has operating system which plays important role to perform different operations.

An operating system is the most important programs or operations or tasks that runs on a computer.

It perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of all files and directories on the disk, memory management and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers.

Operating systems can be found on a countless number of items including:

Mobile phone
ATM machines and
Even many modern day automobiles

When and why we started to use operating system. The detailed history of Operating system is as:

The First Generation (1940 to early 1950):

When electronic computers where first introduced in the 1940’s they were created without any operating systems.

All programming was done in absolute machine language, often by wiring up plug boards to control the machine’s basic functions.

During this generation computers were generally used to solve simple math calculations, operating systems were not necessarily needed.

The Second Generation (1955 to 1965):

The first operating system was introduced in the early 1950’s, it was called GMOS and was created by General Motors for IBM’s machine the 701.

Operating systems in the 1950’s were called single-stream batch processing systems because the data was submitted in groups.

These new machines were called mainframes, and they were used by professional operators in large computer rooms.

The Third Generation (1965 to 1980):

By the late 1960’s operating systems designers were able to develop the system of multiprogramming in which a computer program will be able to perform multiple jobs at the same time.

Multiprogramming system allowed a CPU to be busy nearly 100 percent of the time that it was in operation.

Helps to phenomenal growth of minicomputers development and started towards personal computer.

The Fourth Generation (1980 to Present Day):

The fourth generation of operating systems saw the creation of personal computing.

One of the major factors in the creation of personal computing was the birth of Microsoft and the Windows operating system.

The windows Operating System was created in 1975 with a vision to take personal computing to the next level.

MS-DOS in 1981. Some other operating system also developed after some modification in functions like

Windows 95

Windows 98

Windows XP etc.

This article focus on how execute command successfully using basic characteristics, functions of operating system and role of operating system function.

Following components of operating system serves basic functions of OS to perform all the basic tasks of computer and acts as communication bridge (interface) between user and computer system.

I] Interface user and resources

II] Coordination between hardware resources

III] Memory Management

IV] Processor Management

V] Device Management

VI] File Management

VII] Security

VIII] Controlling

XI] Error Detecting

X] Job Accounting

Operating System (OS) provides an interface between user and computer system through Graphical User Interface (GUI) or Command Line Interface (CLI)

II] Coordination between hardware resources:

An OS enables coordination of hardware components to make communication successful between software and hardware

III] Memory Management:

The OS allocates, de-allocates and manages the primary memory or main memory as per process request.

IV] Processor Management:

An OS decides the order in which processes have access to the processor, and how much processing time each process has. It is also called as process scheduling.

V] Device Management:

An Os manages all device communication via their respective drivers and keep tracks of all device connected to the system

VI] File Management:

An Operating System does the various activities for file management via file system and directories

VII] Security:

It helps to prevents unauthorized access to programs and user data.

What is Operating System OS? Concept and Definition

Once we turn on the computer and started as per our expectation then we feels everything is in control. But behind this process Operating System plays vital role in handling of all necessary tasks to perform. So it is interesting to know what is operating system OS? Concept and Definition of OS and how OS works and what are the different types of operating system.

Definition of Operating System (OS):

An operating system (OS) is defined as, “it is system software that manages all computer hardware and software resources and provides common services for computer programs.”

According to Peter Baber Galvin, “Operating system is one program running at all times on the computer (usually called the Kernel), with all else being system programs and application programs. “

Concept of Operating System (OS):

OS is a program that can be installed by the user and can be changed.

It is stored on the hard drive

An operating system or OS is a system software program that enables the computer hardware to communicate and operate with the computer software.

It acts as an intermediary between the computer user and the computer hardware.

It is large and complex, it must be created piece by piece. Each of these pieces should be well defined portion of the system, with clearly mentioned input, output and functions.

OS is a low-level software that supports a computer’s basic functions, such as scheduling tasks and controlling peripherals.

Types of Operating System (OS):

1. Single User Operating System

2. Multi-tasking

3. Batch Processing

4. Multi-programming

5. Multi-processing

6. Real Time System

7. Time Sharing

8. Distributed Data Processing

9. Mobile OS etc.

Example Operating System (OS):

1. Microsoft Windows

2. Apple iOS

3. Google’s Android OS

How Operating System Works

Operating system is a system software which manages all hardware and software resources of the device. The feeling of everything is in control once you start/turn on the computer but behind this process Operating System plays vital role in handling of all necessary tasks. So it is interesting to know how operating system works.

What is Operating System?

Operating system acts as an intermediary between the computer user and the computer hardware.

It is large and complex, it must be created piece by piece. Each of these pieces should be well defined portion of the system, with clearly mentioned input, output and functions.

How Operating System works?

What operating system do and what exactly operating system’s role in the overall computer system/ during the task. While performing the task computer system divide into four major components viz.

I] Hardware

II] Operating System

III] System and Application Program

IV] User

User

System and Application Program

Operating System

Computer Hardware

I] Hardware:

It consist basic computing resources for the system.

Example: Central Processing Unit (CPU), Memory, input/output (I/O) devices

II] Operating System:

The operating system controls and coordinates the use of the hardware among the various application program for the various user.

III] System and Application Program:

Defines the way in which these resources are used to solve user’s computing resources to solve user computing problems.

Example: Word processor, Spreadsheet, Compiler, Web browser etc.

IV] User:

Interface being used for the computation purpose.

Let’s see how it is?

Step – 1

User sit in front of PC and started access or connected to the minicomputer/workstation through monitor, keyboard, mouse and system unit.

System performance is important to the user instead of resource utilization.

Step – 2

Being an inter mediator and manager of having resources like CPU time, Memory space, File storage space, I/O devices, and so on, OS started to allocate resources as per the computation.

Facing numerous and possible conflicting request for resources, the OS must decide how to allocate them and call them to specific program and user so that it can operate the computer system efficiently and fairly.

OS also acts as control program which manages the execution of user programs to prevent errors and improper use of the computer.

It attention on 100% performance and resources utilization.

Step – 3

Actual experience of optimized performance
